[Koha] One biblio record not visible in staff interface or OPAC

Mon May 29 19:03:45 NZST 2023

Thank you David, I either haven't been able to find it or have overlooked it in my search. Learning both linux and Koha has proven to be a lot more difficult than I was hoping it would be. I've decided to uninstall Koha from the work server and try the setup and cataloging a few records again to see where I'm making a mistake and not geting results when I click on the authors. 

Best regards

Aida Đikić

In full disclosure, Aida, this task is not one that I've ever needed to do. But research is fun, and I like to learn new things. According to a few searches through the list, my attention was brought firstly to the use of 'koha-shell' for such things and secondly to the following command to run this particular script:

$ sudo koha-shell -c '/usr/share/koha/bin/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl
-c' your_koha_name

See https://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2021-July/056491.html for the relevant thread. If someone else out there knows better, then please give Aida the better tip!

I'm grateful to Caroline for sending the little "cheat sheet" of the basic fields for cataloging in MARC21, those were very helpful. And it turns out that David Nind also once sent instructions on how to run the ./misc/batchRebuildBiblioTables.pl script, which I had forgotten about, so apologies!

This is true for both manually added records and Z39.50; I looked them up to make sure. Same with subjects.

I thought this would be an automatic change during the next installation. If I absolutely must I will do it, but I would really like to avoid having to create yet another instance and to have to remake all the html customizations and CSS for the OPAC.
